Thielert Aircraft Engines GmbH (TAE) Model TAE 125-01 Reciprocating Engines
This AD applies to Thielert Aircraft Engines GmbH (TAE) model TAE 125-01 reciprocating engines, all serial numbers (S/N) up to- and- including S/N 02-01-1018. These engines are installed in, but not limited to, Diamond Aircraft Industries Model DA42, Piper PA-28-161 (Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) No. SA03303AT), Cessna 172F, 172G, 172H, 172I, 172K, 172L, 172M, 172N, 172P, 172R, 172S, F172F, F172G, F172H, F172K, F172L, F172M, F172N, and F172P (STC No. SA01303WI) airplanes.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:
Unless already done, do the following actions within the next 50 flight hours after the effective date of this AD:
(1) Modify the engine oil system by installing a filter adaptor to the catch tank.
(2) Use the installation instructions in Thielert Service Bulletin No. TM TAE 125-0016, Revision 1, dated June 15, 2007, to install the filter adaptor.
This AD differs from the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information (MCAI) as follows:
(1) The MCAI compliance time states “within the next 50 flight hours after the effective date of this directive, but not later than 31 October 2007, whichever occurs first”.
(2) This AD compliance time states “within the next 50 flight hours after the effective date of this AD.”
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
